This post is to do with WFH and nothing to do with fiances or FI there are more relevant subs.
I live in an apartment in the center of a big city, it's always busy where I am. I WFH because I want to and at any point I can be more "social" if I go down stairs or meet people for lunch ect. The point is I have a choice. I remember being forced to commute to a business district / city center to only sink 8 hours of productive or not so productive work time and then having small talk with people you work with because you pretty much have to. We all did this for 5 days a week and we didn't have time to do anything and there was 0 balance in my life. It was forced. With WFH culture it weeds out all the fluff that the vast majority of working professional really don't give a fuck about.
